Well, fine, but the Fire still lags the iPad in Web browsing. It took my Fire one second longer than the iPad to pull up nytimes.com or ESPN.com (seven seconds versus six), four seconds longer for People.com, three seconds longer for Cracked.com — and, amusingly, 1.5 seconds longer to pull up Amazon.com.

Web browsing is combination of how fast your wifi is and how quickly your screen can render the images it's downloaded. It shouldn't be surprising that the iPad is faster, although the importance of that depends on what you're interested in reading: NY Times readers may not mind 7 seconds vs. 6; readers of People may want to look elsewhere...
